About
West Midlands Urban Community Homes is a new hub for knowledge and expertise that exists to help community led housing flourish in the region. We offer support and work with a wide range of stakeholders to bring together the people, land and finance needed to make community led housing projects happen.
The West Midlands has a rich history of community led housing and we are building a movement for a new wave of homes owned, managed and stewarded by our communities. That’s because we want to see more affordable, high quality and sustainable homes in thriving neighbourhoods – great places to live, now and in the future.
